They shared a liking for sharp suits, nightclubs and the high-life. And on Spain's 'Costa Del Crime' Jimmy 'The Weed' Donnelly and Ronnie Knight had another thing in common - they were both on the run from the law.
Knight, who died this week aged 89, fled the UK as one of the so-called 'Famous Five' - following what was at the time the biggest cash heist in history - the infamous £6m Security Express robbery in Shoreditch, East London in 1983.
The Costa Del Sol was the ideal place to lay low for someone like Knight, a pal of the Krays with connections to London's underworld. A few years earlier, a century-old extradition treaty between the UK and Spain had expired, meaning there was little chance of wanted Britons being sent home to face justice.
